This movie is trippy and very entertaining! One of my favorites.

My apologies, I didn't realize I'd dropped acid at some point while watching these films. Still, better than anything with Minilla.

Trippy, preachy, and batshit crazy. This one is a favorite of the Showa Era for me. It was ahead of its time and Hedorah is a cool kaiju.

I remember being freaked out by Hedorah as a kid. He was a great addition to the kaiju lineup

This movie is dripping in 70's atmosphere. Infamous for the Godzilla "flies" scene.

Concerns embodied by the sludge monster Hedorah still resonate today, and the film’s offbeat, trippy atmosphere remains charmingly bizarre.

People seem to like this one- I just don’t, I find it stupid but not the worst. I think it’s okay, and at worst boring, at best hilarious.

Amazing all by itself but especially for its low budget. Beautiful psychedelic moments and good message with silly and scary mixed together.

best godzilla movie, great example of the wave of early-70s/post-60s psychedelia
